SUMMER WALKER RECEIVES PROCLAMATION FROM ATLANTA FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.

•Atlanta Officially Crowns September 22nd Summer Walker Day.

•Announces Exclusive Vinyl For Acclaimed 2018 Debut Mixtape Last Day of Summer.

On September 21st, the City of Atlanta and the Mayor’s Office of Film, Entertainment & Nightlife presented a proclamation to Summer Walker (LVRN/Interscope Records) for her contributions to the community and one of Atlanta’s greatest success stories by officially proclaiming the Last Day of Summer, September 22nd, as Summer Walker Day in the City of Atlanta. Councilmember Andrea Boone and AMOFEN Directors Cardellia Hunter and Phillana Williams were in attendance for the presentation.

With the help of Social Xurrency, the platinum-selling singer’s altruism continues Friday, as Walker’s Last Day of Summer Small Business Activation will help small businesses within the Atlanta community. All participating businesses will be available at buyblackwomensshit.com in hopes of assisting hard-working women to succeed.

In addition, with Friday scientifically serving as the last day of summer, Summer will release an exclusive cobalt blue vinyl for her acclaimed 2018 debut mixtape, Last Day of Summer. Certified gold by the RIAA, Last Day of Summer spawned her 5X-platinum single, “Girls Need Love,” and its lauded remix featuring Drake. “Girls Need Love (Remix)” soared to No. 2 on the Hot R&B and entered the top 40 of the Hot 100. Last year, Summer released the revamped version of Last Day of Summer (Sped-Up) after the viral explosion of her sped-up single “Karma,” which created spikes in her streams.

The millions of streams it generated pushed “Karma” to platinum status, and its success sparked a full revamp of her Last Day of Summer as an entire sped-up album, Last Day of Summer (Sped Up). The project is the first sped-up album from a major recording artist and is a result of the singer listening to her devoted fanbase, who found pleasure in revisiting the classic album in a reimagined way.

Juan Diego Medina: A Standout Mention Among the Latin Power Players of 2023

Juan Diego Medina, the visionary force behind La Industria INC, has been acknowledged among this year’s Latin Power Players, a testament to his unmatched prowess in building musical empires and elevating talents to international acclaim. Spotlighted by Billboard, Medina’s influence is not just confined to the Spanish-speaking world; he’s pivotal in amplifying Latin music in markets unfamiliar with the Spanish tongue.

Medina takes pride in nurturing talents, with Manuel Turizo standing tall as a testament. Chartbusters like “La Bachata” became a huge success in territories far beyond Spanish-speaking boundaries. Turizo’s collaborations with heavyweights like Marshmello and Shakira exemplify Medina’s expansive influence, and the April debut of “2000” at number 11 on the Top Latin Albums underscores his industry clout.

Yet, Medina’s imprint is not limited to the likes of Turizo and Nicky Jam. He’s also a beacon for rising stars like Goyo and Sky Rompiendo and a driving force behind the next generation of Latin musical prodigies.

Emerging from humble beginnings, Medina’s story is one of passion, tenacity, and foresight. A chance encounter with Nicky Jam on the streets of Medellín didn’t just alter the trajectory of the iconic artist but forged a symbiotic partnership, propelling urban music to unparalleled heights.

This nod in the Latin Power Players 2023 solidifies Juan Diego Medina’s commitment and dominance in the global projection of Latin music. His journey epitomizes the transformative power of music and relentless innovation in the entertainment landscape.

Remembering James Charles Thompson

WATCH

James Charles Thompson, son of the late William Thompson, Sr. and Carrie E. Stroud was born on November 28, 1965, in Yonkers, NY. He departed this life on August 4, 2023, in New York, NY.

By invitation, James studied music at the Westchester Conservatory of Music and The Julliard School of Music before attending Elizabeth City State University, in North Carolina, where he graduated with a B.S. in Marketing/Business Admin and Music Performance in 1987. He later earned an M.B.A./Marketing & Media Management from Metropolitan College of New York.

Immediately after graduation from college, James began a multifaceted and stellar career as a media/music/radio executive, working at top firms. At Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising, his keen perception and ability
to quickly size up a situation allowed him to rapidly rise to the position of a senior negotiator for multi-million dollar media contracts. At 3 other companies, Disney (WABC-AM), Viacom CBS (WCBS-AM)
and Bonneville Broadcasting (WNSR-FM), James distinguished himself as “National Sales Manager of the Year” for consecutive years in a row. He was a consistent top performer, due in large part to his warmness and uncanny ability to connect with his clients.

At Emmis Communications (WQHT Hot97-FM), James successfully transitioned from his initial position as Account Executive to Community Relations Director, where he excelled in partnering with government agencies to create community-based initiatives in literacy, mental health and child protection. For example, he negotiated a sponsorship from L’Oréal and SONY to create a widely acclaimed, museum retrospective that featured R&B and hip-hop artists as well as international superstar, Beyoncé. He later moved on to Reach Media Inc., the umbrella organization of the “Tom Joyner Morning Show” and The Tom Joyner Foundation. As a Community and Health Account Director at Reach Media, he continued outreach to the community by securing sponsorships and philanthropic funding for health-based Tom Joyner campaigns, like the annual “Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day.” As a result of these work experiences, a seed was planted in his heart one day to create a non-profit organization to address unmet community needs.

James’ love for singing and sharing the Gospel through song continued to burn within him. He was blessed with a rich, baritone voice and an impressive 4-octave range that equipped him as a gospel recording artist. His passion for singing and songwriting found expression when he formed the gospel ensemble, Beyond Blessed, and developed a start-up music recording label, Beyond Blessed Music. Two of the songs written
by “JC” Thompson were featured on the 98.7 Kiss FM gospel music CD compilation “A Night of Healing” in 2006, alongside gospel favorites by Kirk Franklin, Kelly Price, and Fred Hammond. Under the Beyond Blessed Music label, the ensemble produced 4 full-length music albums. Because of his warm-hearted and generous spirit, JC Thompson offered his group for concerts to benefit Livingstone College, Salisbury, NC, and St. Catherine AME Zion Church, New Rochelle, NY, where he and his mother were members. Two of the most memorable benefit concerts were held in Manhattan: “The Gospel on Broadway” Concert in 2006 at the Peter Norton Symphony Space Theatre and “The Praise Party” Concert in 2008 at the Apollo Theater. To extend into the video recording business, JC Thompson open another start-up, Monarch Music & Video Recordings LLC, through which he released 2 full-length films in 2020, “Building Love in the Age of Hate” and “It’sAlive365!”

A precocious boy, James’ abundant musical talents, were evident before he was 6 yrs old. His “Nana” Rina B. Crutchfield, a Gospel music promoter, encouraged James to join with his siblings to form a gospel
group known as “The Cherubs,” where he was lead vocalist. By age 12, he was directing choirs and writing music. His family moved to New Rochelle, NY, where throughout his high school years, he won the Music-Vocal category of the NAACP ACTSO competition. He graduated from New Rochelle High School in 1983.

James had an unwavering faith and trust in God. He explained that in 2013, God began a special move in his life, calling him to evangelize. As a man of action, James put things on hold to embark on a spiritual journey and mission that led him to receive a Masters of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary, NYC. Two years later, he earned a Doctorate degree in Ministry from The New Seminary for Interfaith Studies, NYC, and was ordained as a minister. He volunteered as Chaplain with the Police Clergy Council at the NYPD 28th Precinct.

About that time, the seed of interest in non-profit work began to blossom in his heart. After taking a M.S. in Non-Profit Leadership from Fordham University, he launched The Faith Centre NYC, under the umbrella of theGreater.org. The Faith Centre NYC funded scholarships for college-bound students through the organization’s “Thompson Family Trust” and was active in advocating for health and food vulnerability issues in Harlem and the Bronx through the company’s “The Burning Bush” division.

James had a special way with people. Super-social and gregarious, he could start a conversation with you where you felt that you were the most important person in the room. Fun-loving and playful, James was a favorite uncle of his nieces and nephews of all ages. He was a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS, a.k.a. The Grammy Awards). James avidly supported activities that helped the community through his lifetime membership in the NAACP and as a member of the National Urban League and Manhattan Community Board 10.

James leaves to mourn his loss and cherish his memory two sisters, G. Marie Thompson and Ramona B. Thompson Reittie; two brothers, William (Byl) H. Thompson, Jr. and John A. Thompson II; a sister-in-law, Andrea Mackey Thompson; nieces and nephews, Sir-Justin L. Reittie (Edith), Alyssa J. Thompson, John
A. Thompson III (Toyia), and William Andrew James Thompson; grandnephews and grandnieces: Aliyah, Madison, Logan, Ania, Michael, Jeremiah, Malachi, Daniel, Elijh, Jasmine, John IV, and Ethan. He is
also survived by a loving aunt, Hattie Stevens, a dear cousin, Delilah Holmes, other cousins and relatives, colleagues, and friends, who will miss him dearly.

SHM – Ray of Solar

Electronic music powerhouse Swedish House Mafia, the trio of Steve Angello, Axwell, and Sebastian Ingrosso, have just shared their second new single of the post-Paradise Again era, a summer-y slice of digital euphoria appropriately titled “Ray of Solar.” Already a fixture of recent performances (a clip of the group performing it at Ushuaia Ibiza has been making the rounds online), and bolstered by contributions by Tove Burman, “Ray of Solar” joins the recently released single “See The Light (feat. Friday)” as material that will ultimately serve as the foundation for an anticipated new album.

Swedish House Mafia share that they’re “Happy to be back with a song that takes us places! Once we recorded these vocals we really got transcended to space. We listened to it on repeat all night and imagined floating in space. This is the summer record for us and even though we’ve heard it a million times and still feel the power of it, it’s a really special one, the unique vocal with our style of writing melodies makes it special! Doing this together with Tove was incredible as we really felt we gave it a true Nordic sonic landscape. We love every second of it and can’t wait for the world to hear it!”

The single follows in the footsteps of last week’s release of Paradise Again: The Live Album, an expansive career-spanning 22-track documentation of the ambitious tour in support of Paradise Again intended to act as a capstone for that era. The live album is an apt demonstration of the massive success of that era, comprising sold-out shows at iconic arenas and stadiums across the globe as well as over 2.5 billion streams for the album worldwide.

Lord Afrixana – Ghana Must Go

Grammy®-nominated artist Lord Afrixana stakes his claim as a culture-and genre-bending master on his dynamic new EP Ghana Must Go. The four-song collection features the powerful track “No Dey Tire,” the Ghana-born singer-songwriter’s debut single for Protect the Culture/Warner Records. The new label was founded by music industry veteran Marc Byers and has recently entered into a worldwide joint venture with Warner Records. Listen to Ghana Must Go HERE.

Over four fierce tracks, Lord Afrixana shows off his impressive range as a no-holds-barred lyricist with a swaggering flow. “We take the charge like visa, we run the streets like tro tro,” he announces on opening track “No Dey Tire,” a moody manifesto built on thunderous bass and pulsating beats. The song largely reflects—and speaks to—the African and Caribbean communities of Afrixana’s adopted hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts, where he’s lived since the age of nine.

He keeps that vigor pumping on “Not For Nothing,” an adrenaline-fueled song primed to be the next big walkout anthem. “Every stripe that you deserve is a stripe you gotta earn,” he proclaims. The second half of the EP reveals a softer side as he dips into a more seductive mood with sun-soaked groovers “Pillow”—featuring the hypnotic vocals of “Firefly”—and “Parachute.”

About the EP Lord Afrixana shares, “The title represents a reclamation and rebranding effort because Ghana must do more than just go. Ghana Must Go Home. Ghana Must Go Far. Ghana Must Go Well.”

With Ghana Must Go, Lord Afrixana proves he’s ready to step into the spotlight as a solo star. The EP arrives after a number of star-studded collaborations. In 2019, he co-wrote two songs with Beyoncé for The Lion King: The Gift soundtrack, which would earn him three Grammy nominations. He’s worked with artists like Pharrell Williams, Bebe Rexha, Tiwa Savage, and has been featured on the season 2 soundtrack of the Epix original series Godfather of Harlem alongside DDG with “No Favors” and the season 3 soundtrack with “Bad Guy.” He also co-wrote the smash hit summer track “Showing Off Her Body” by DaBaby & Davido and flexed his solo talents on last year’s hard-hitting “Touchdown,” featured on the EA Sports Madden NFL soundtrack.

Sofia Reyes × Danna Paola

Listen To “tqum (te quiero un montón) remix ft. Kim Petras” HERE

Two of Mexico’s biggest pop sensations, Sofia Reyes and Danna Paola, are set to conquer global stages with an exciting new collaboration, enlisting hyperpop royalty Kim Petras to join them on an unforgettable bilingual remix of their chart-topping hit, “tqum (te quiero un montón).”

Taking the first verse, Petras injects her catchy, lovelorn vocals to the captivating single with flair and ease, giving the track a new dimension while retaining what has made the track such a gigantic hit. The popstar adds a unique and dynamic element to the track, further solidifying its potential as a cross-genre hit. Petras is hot on the heels of the enormous success of her Sam Smith collaboration “Unholy”—with over 1.2 billion streams on Spotify alone—as well as her album Feed The Beast, making her one of the biggest stars worldwide right now. Her presence will project “tqum” to an even wider audience.

Sofía and Danna revealed on the red carpet of Premios Juventud—where they performed the track for the first time live to close the night, becoming the biggest highlight of the ceremony—how the remix came together: Kim became a fan of the song, using it on her social media. When Sofía reached out to her to do a new version. Kim jumped at the chance, excited to guest on her recent favorite song. She then went to the studio with Sofía and producer Thom Bridges—who also produced the original version—where they FaceTimed Danna so everyone could be present for the moment.

“tqum (te quiero un montón)” has already amassed millions of streams and captivated audiences across the Spanish-speaking world with its heartfelt lyrics and catchy chorus. This summer’s dominant hit song, “tqum,” has swiftly captivated audiences around the world. Now, this new remix, with its energetic beats and seamless bilingual blend, is ready to conquer new territories and bring the joy of Latin pop to a global stage.

“tqum” will be included in Sofia’s forthcoming album due later in 2023. The full length will also include “Luna”, which sees the singer embrace nature and the power of feminine divinity in a heartfelt and celestial love song. “tqum” was written by Sofia, Danna, K. Sotomayor, and Thom Bridges; it was produced by Bridges. Rolling Stone hailed the as-yet-untitled album as “the beginning of a new era […] after an excellent, cumbia-filled album, Mal De Amores.”
